Kim Tiddy, David Hasselhoff, Shane Richie Jnr and Stephanie Webber in Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, having its world premiere at the Blackpool Opera House
The full cast has been announced for the world premiere of brand new musical Last Night a DJ Saved My Life starring the legendary David Hasselhoff.
The Hoff, as he is known to millions of fans across the world, will lead the cast when the Ibiza-themed romp opens for the first time at Blackpool Opera House this October.
The cast is led by David Hasselhoff as Ross, Stephanie Webber as Penny, Shane Richie Jnr as Rik, Kim Tiddy as Mandy; Barry Bloxham as Masher, Tam Ryan as Jose, Natalie Amanda Gray as Amber, Emily Penny as Shazza and Will Markus as Perez. Also in the cast are: Darius J James, Stuart Rouse, Josephine Scamell, Hannah Veerapen, Hannah Bodenham, Gary Newbold, Andy Sturges and Richard Linford.
In Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, written and directed by Jon Conway, The Hoff plays an extrovert, party-going, DJ and nightclub owner on the party isle of Ibiza at the start of the 1990s. His teenage daughter arrives to stay for the summer and he has to cope with being a single parent to a girl who wants to meet boys and live the party life. Suddenly his motto is “do as I say, not as I did!”
Tracks featured include: ‘Ride on Time’, ‘Saturday Night’, ‘Things Can Only Get Better’, ‘The Only Way is Up’, ‘Spice Up Your Life’, ‘Angels’ and ‘I’ll Be There For You’. A string of hits from Maria Carey’s ‘Hero’ to MC Hammer’s ‘U Can’t Touch This’, underscore a story that will register with young and old when mobile phones were the size of house bricks, Nintendo Gameboy was the ‘in’ thing and we discovered Windows 95.
Managing director of Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, Michael Williams added: “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life ticks the box for so many people. Whether you grew up in the 1990s, you were listening to your teenager’s music, or you were watching the news, there was so much going on and it will all be celebrated in this amazing show.
“The Hoff has such incredible appeal anyway and to be able to boast that he is coming to Blackpool to star in a world premiere is great news.”
The world premiere of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is on Friday 16 October. It will then run from Saturday 17 October to Sunday 1 November.
